Pros

When I was an employee, you were able to plug in your headphones and get lost in your work. If you prefer to work individually, this is the place for you. Pay and benefits were also great comparatively. I was started at $13/hr with 3 years of CNA experience, 0 experience in maintaining medical records. Ending hourly rate was $13.65 after 2. Floor/ group supervisors were generally easy to communicate and work with. Extensive, month long training class that leaves you well- prepared to work on your own. Cubical environment with semi- private, individual work stations.

Cons

Strict attendance policy based on a 10 point system; which may make things hard on parents, those with chronic medical conditions, or who experience a short-term tragedy while employed with this company. When new ownership took over in 2012ish, many great employees (20+) were lost over the course of months due to sudden, restrictive policies that they were not hired in under. Clocking in was done on a booted computer, which could result in a "tardy" if the computer you were attempting to clock in on experienced trouble booting. Too many facilities (10-13) placed on one individual at a time. As a result, "Print Week" was always a chaotic and stressful race against the clock within each group.

Pros

work with schedule out of desperation. able to be more laid back due to being long-term care facility (can listen to music/play music on the floor and has casual dress days.)

Cons

Atmosphere is bad, cliquey, gossipy, negative. Supervisor contributes to this. No recognition. Tries to play to your emotions and make promises for advancement that they won't fill and can't fill due to lack of advanced positions. Supervisor will get upset and literally ignore you and your emails like a third grade [girl] - except insert the inappropriate word :) Short Staffed. Often have to stay late. Blame is the most important thing to establish when a problem arises. People step on toes and throw others under the bus. The list goes on. Its like the people there are so used to things going wrong they anticipate it and they manifest it. Working there makes you unhappy and being to lean toward a pessimistic outlook. This is why I left.
